Researchers from Ninewells Hospital in Dundee have revealed that children are being injured on trampolines because many drunken adults are crowding them leaving no space at all.
"As the adult bounces on the trampoline with the child their weight brings the platform of the trampoline down and back up to meet the child as they land - this causes a force into the child's bones," said Dr Andrew Bogacz from Ninewells. The hospital analyzed 50 injuries at the A&E department over the last six weeks before arriving at this conclusion.

A fracture is a condition where the continuity of the bone is lost. Majority of bone fractures occur because of high force impact or stress on a bone.

In the above series, 46% of the cases were without supervision from adults, while 64% bounced about without a safety net.

Modifiable Hip Fracture Complications Contribute To Mortality
Potentially modifiable post-fracture complications, including pneumonia and pressure ulcers, are associated with an increased risk of death among nursing home residents.
